This is what happens......
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Wedding Attire, on July 8, 2013 at 12:46 PM

When you try to pick-out your BM's dresses for them. With all 6 of my girls living out of state I had no clue as to how to pick a dress that everyone would love without seeing them in it first. So, I...

Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Etiquette and Advice, on July 3, 2013 at 11:37 AM

Charity Registry
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Married Life, on July 2, 2013 at 1:11 PM

Has anyone ever done this before or have plans on doing this? If so, did you do it in combination with a retail registry? I've been doing a little research, but am nervous on how guests may receive...

Oriental Trading Anyone?
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Do It Yourself, on June 29, 2013 at 2:22 PM

I remember my mom using Oriental Trading for just about every occasion when we were kids and don't recall there ever being an issue with product quality. It seems you kinda know what you're paying for...

Time For Photos....How much is enough?
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Planning, on June 28, 2013 at 10:59 AM

I've recently started to put together a scratch "Day of" timeline and realized that our time for photography may be a bit tight. The chapel books up to 4 weddings per day and each wedding party is...

Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Etiquette and Advice, on June 21, 2013 at 3:20 PM

I'm working on getting our WW Website together, but I just kinda need some ideas to go off of. No plagiarism, just need a creative jump start. Anybody mind me taking a gander? Also, what kind of...

How long does it take to get dressed?
Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Planning, on June 18, 2013 at 2:35 PM

I'm trying to put together a scratch "Wedding Day" itinerary just to get an idea of how long everything is going to take and to make sure we'll be able to get to the chapel on-time. In my mind 3 hours...

Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Etiquette and Advice, on June 13, 2013 at 11:33 AM

About a month ago the setting for my engagement ring bent so badly it cracked. I figured it happened from lifting barbells at the gym. Took it to my local jewelry store and found out that #1 my...

And this is how..... When we first started planning we had a guest list of 90 with a budget of $9,000. After crunching the numbers we realized that we could truly only afford half of that. With...

Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Planning, on June 12, 2013 at 2:13 PM

Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Etiquette and Advice, on May 27, 2013 at 3:50 PM

Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Etiquette and Advice, on May 20, 2013 at 2:42 PM

He wants to elope and I couldn't be happier! While the idea of having a wedding was nice to fantasize about, realistically neither one of us have the attention span to pull it off. Money wasn't too...

Mrs. Grissett-Johnson in Married Life, on May 10, 2013 at 2:23 PM

Since getting engaged the topic of children has come up as I expected. Still, our answer has always been the same, that we are hoping to hold off for another 3 to 4 years. We want to enjoy being...
